Booknews

A textbook for an undergraduate course in the nutrition and feeding of commercial livestock, focusing on basic information rather than the more unusual topics and feeds. Does not aspire to be a general reference or a guide to the primary literature. Includes specific data for beef and dairy cattle, horses, poultry, sheep, and swine. Updated from the 1987 edition to incorporate new findings and recommendations, particularly from the National Research Council Bulletins, including the new distinction between ruminant and monogastric animals. Also reflects the increased importance of poultry meats. First published in 1975. Includes a glossary without pronunciation. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
